SLATE ROOFING
Slate Roofing Materials & Installation Details
Natural slate is a metamorphic stone roofing material quarried in various thicknesses, colors, and grades. Proper slate roof installation depends on selecting the correct slate type, appropriate fastening methods, and compatible flashing materials. Slate roofs are individually installed using copper or stainless steel fasteners and require correctly detailed valleys, penetrations, and underlayment systems to ensure long-term performance.
Traditional slate roofing systems are designed to shed water naturally while accommodating thermal movement and long service life, making them well suited for historic and high-quality residential properties.
